After a six-year relationship, Seungri, a former member of Big Bang, and influencer Yoo Hye-won seem to have found their own partners.
Recently, testimonies claiming to have spotted Seungri have spread across online communities and social media.
According to the sightings, Seungri was dining with a woman at a bone soup restaurant located in Songpa-gu. A netizen who posted about it noted, "Seungri was eating (bone soup) like a thief. With a very beautiful woman." It was said, "The place was crowded, and everyone knew Seungri was there but pretended not to. However, a lady came over, handed him a big piece of paper, and loudly asked for his autograph. Seungri took two bites and stood up."
Another netizen also mentioned, "I saw Seungri at a bone soup restaurant in Sinsa-dong. He entered a room with curtains, and a lady secretly took orders and came out. There were a lot of people there, but everyone was pretending not to notice. Our group was the only ones that said, 'Seungri is in Korea?'"
Seungri, who was identified as a key figure in the Burning Sun scandal in 2019, was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison for nine charges, including habitual gambling, prostitution, mediation of prostitution, violations of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, violation of the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act, violation of the Food Sanitation Act, embezzlement, violation of the Act on Acceleration of Punishment for Specific Economic Crimes (embezzlement), and incitement to special assault, and was released upon completion in February of last year.
He is currently said to be transforming into a businessman and mentioning the names of his former Big Bang members for business expansion. It is reported that he is mainly active overseas and has been spotted in clubs.
Amid the sightings of Seungri, attention is also focused on Yoo Hye-won, the influencer he was rumored to be dating. The dating rumors arose because Yoo Hye-won accompanied Seungri when he enlisted. At that time, the agency stated, "Since it is an actor's private life, we do not know." Without confirming or denying the dating rumors, it is known that Yoo Hye-won supported Seungri and they broke up after six years.
Yoo Hye-won is currently participating in Mnet "Couple Palace 2" to find her match. From her first appearance, Yoo Hye-won captured attention with her visuals and doll-like styling, confessing her family history as the head of the household and the oldest daughter in a K-family, expressing her wish to find a marriage partner through "Couple Palace 2."
Especially stating, "My dream is to meet a good person and get married, not a bad or popular guy," Yoo Hye-won mentioned the dating rumors with Seungri and Heo Woong, saying, "I don't know if it's okay for me to be here because of that." She shared her awkward reaction, saying, "It follows me like a tag," but she resolved to face the tag head-on.
Due to her immense popularity, Yoo Hye-won also expressed her intention to politely decline offers for broadcasts and advertisements for the time being. According to insiders, she has been inundated with various brand advertising and broadcast appearance proposals but has politely declined for now to take personal time and carefully consider future activities.
Recently on the broadcast, Yoo Hye-won attracted attention by casting a vote of interest for Hwang Jae-geun, an employee of a large Japanese company. Yoo Hye-won noted, "I had some backstory, so I was worried I might be a nuisance and couldn't muster the courage," and Hwang Jae-geun opened up after clearing up any misunderstandings regarding Yoo Hye-won.
Seungri, who has been spotted in various locations after his release and is rumored to be involved with women, and Yoo Hye-won, who has stepped forward to find a marriage partner through "Couple Palace 2." Both are moving on their separate paths after their six-year relationship.
